lee is making chocolate chip cookies and the recipe calls for 3/4 cup of chocolate chips. if she wants to make 2/3 of the recipe, what fraction of a chip of chocolate chips will she need? explain.

Sagot :


First, (again lol) you multiply the amount of chocolate chips the recipe calls for by the amount Lee wants to make.

so its 3/4 * 2/3

 =

6/12

1/2

Lee will need a fraction of 1/2 of a chip of chocolate chips for the recipe

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Lee is making chocolate chip cookies and recipe requires [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups of chips

Then for [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] fraction of the recipe will require chocolate chips = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups

Therefore, Lee will require  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups of chocolate chips.
